Hello,
I’m not sure if you have already posted before the official set of rules for Texas Holdem. In case you have already posted, my apologies. I’m just a new visitor to your site and haven’t yet totally checked all the stuff posted.
Well, I’m looking for an official set of rules for Texas Hold’em. If possible, a set of rules that does not only covers the basics but also some finer, more important points like dealing procedures, betting procedures, who turns over their hand first, everything to do with the muck, how the community cards are dealt and arranged on the table, and the like.
I’m thinking that such set of rules may be either from Nevada or New Jersey, or else among others.
By the way, is there a book or the like that contains the set of official rules for home games and tournaments which is just handy?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Matthew
Matthew,
The easiest book to go over the rules of poker is Robert’s Rules of Poker. This book covers all the different version’s of poker from Holdem to Stud and beyond. Robert’s Rules of Poker is a downloadable online and free of charge.
In addition you may want to familiarize yourself with the Tournament Director’s Association’s set of rules for major tournaments. While this may be overkill for home games, these rules will be helpful if you play tournament poker live at a casino.
